Chapter 10
The Beggar
1. Has Lushkoff become a beggar by circumstance or by choice?
(লুচকফ পৰিস্থিতিত বা পছন্দৰ দ্বাৰা ভিক্ষাৰী হৈ পৰিছে নেকি?)
Answer:- Lushkoff has become a beggar by choice. Previously, he sang in a Russian choir and was sent away for drinking. Instead of finding another job, Lushkoff decided to become a beggar.
2. What reasons does he give to Sergei for his telling lies?
(মিছা কথা কোৱাৰ বাবে তেওঁ সেৰ্গেইক কি কাৰণ দিয়ে?)
Answer:- Lushkoff maintains that he was turned away from Russian singers because he was an alcoholic. He lies because if he tells this truth, no one will ever help him or give him money.
3. Is Lushkoff a willing worker? Why, then, does he agree to chop wood for Sergei?
(লুচকফ এজন ইচ্ছুক কৰ্মী নেকি? তেনেহ'লে তেওঁ কিয় সেৰ্গেইৰ বাবে কাঠ কাটিবলৈ সন্মত হয়?)
Answer:- No, he is not a willing activist. Alcohol has reduced his strength, and he has no inclination to do anything. He agrees to chop wood for Sergei because he is hungry or wants to work but he is shamed and trapped by his words.
4. Sergei says, "I am happy that my words have taken effect." Why does he say so? Is he right in saying this?
(ছেৰ্গেই কয়, "মোৰ কথাবোৰ কাৰ্যকৰী হোৱাত মই সুখী।" তেওঁ কিয় এনেকয়? তেওঁ এইটো কোৱাটো সঠিক নেকি?)
Answer:- "I am happy that my words have been implemented," says Sergei. He said that because he thinks Lushkoff is the reason he went from being a beggar to a notary. This is partly true, but Sergei is not the only one who made Lushkoff what he is now.
Lushkoff says that although he is obliged to Sergey for guiding him in the right direction and for allowing him to work as a lumberjack at his house, his transformation is the result of Sergei’s cook, Olga. She was the one who cut the wood and not Lushkoff.
5. Lushkoff is earning thirty five roubles a month. How is he obliged to Sergei for this?
(লুচকফে মাহে পঁয়ত্ৰিশ ৰুবল উপাৰ্জন কৰি আছে। ইয়াৰ বাবে তেওঁ কেনেকৈ সেৰ্গেইক বাধ্য?)
Answer:- Lushkoff is earning thirty-five rubles a month. he is obligated to Sergei as if he had not come to Sergei, he could still be a beggar who told the same old lie of being a teacher or a student. But Sergey helped him out of the hole by giving him work.
6. During their conversation Lushkoff reveals that Sergei's cook, Olga, is responsible for the positive change in him. How has Olga saved Lushkoff?
(তেওঁলোকৰ কথোপকথনৰ সময়ত লুচকফে প্ৰকাশ কৰে যে সেৰ্গেইৰ ৰান্ধনী ওলগা তেওঁৰ ইতিবাচক পৰিৱৰ্তনৰ বাবে দায়বদ্ধ। ওলগাই লুচকফক কেনেকৈ ৰক্ষা কৰিছে?)
Answer:- Sergei took Lushkoff to his house and gave him work cutting wood. He asked his cook, Olga, to take Lushkoff to the lumber shed and let him chop wood.
When Lushkoff becomes a notary and meets Sergei by accident, he tells him that all that time, Olga was chopping wood. She felt sorry for Lushkoff and cut herself instead of letting Lushkoff do this.
Lushkoff said her kindness changed him to be a better person and to earn a living.
